Welcome to the No Limits Race.
In the near future, 16-year-old Kaiden Reed makes a bold and dangerous decision to enter the most brutal sports competition on the planet. One in which he will undergo a radical upgrade and become a new kind of athlete and a new kind of hero.
Part human. Part machine.
All Kai wants is a shot at a better life and to impress the girl of his dreams. But the stakes in the Race are higher, and the choices tougher, than Kai ever imagined. The physical challenges are just the beginning.
Ten days. Ten contenders. One winner.
Does Kai have what it takes to compete? How far will he go to win? And should he trust the person who recruited him in the first place - or is she using him to carry out a bold and dangerous agenda of her own?

Sand Runner is a dystopian novel set in a world where 3d printing has made pretty much everything else obsolete. Most traditional businesses are gone, and the future is all that is left. Kai Reed, our protagonist, has turned to racing to survive. This is all to try to get a place in The Race, a nationally televised competition that can set the winner up for life.
This book was written well, and the interesting world it was set in kept me wanting to read more. There were a lot of parts that were too slow, but overall it was a very entertaining book. If you like futuristic books, this might be a great read for you.
Dave M, Reviewer
The action and adrenaline of this story were consistent, and the backstory was decently developed. The language and violence makes it applicable to an older YA audience, but it was nice to read a title in the genre that bring something fresh as it tips its hat to other works (i.e., The Hunger Games & The Maze Runner).
